To me, the Bartlett Society has always offered a welcoming space where students can explore architecture beyond the classroom. Although I haven’t been a formal member for a majority of the year, I’ve especially appreciated how the society includes so many events which allow non-members to drop-in. I’ve particularly enjoyed the sketching picnic and the Bartlett Ball—each providing unique opportunities to connect with fellow students. Previously, I’ve enjoyed pitching in, whether by helping set up events or helping the members hand out posters. This year, I’m ready to increase my involvement by running for Events Officer.
When it comes to organizing events, I rely on structure and foresight. I try to anticipate potential hurdles and address them before they escalate, whether by booking speakers and venues well in advance, managing logistical details carefully, or stepping in to resolve last-minute challenges. I believe in being proactive: if a job needs doing, I jump in and collaborate with the right people to see it done properly.
I also recognize that the Society’s success depends on solid teamwork. While my primary responsibility would be planning and executing events, I’m committed to supporting fellow committee members whenever they need help. Whether it’s brainstorming new ideas with the President, strengthening our social media presence, or pitching in wherever an extra hand is needed, I’m always ready to contribute.
